If you are going to miss the WTO ministorial in Cancun here is an alternative: Lets counter the counter-protesters.

We already have many people committed to attending and disrupting the Freeper annual picnic thrown by www.Freerepublic owner Jim Robinson. We are hoping to see as many people as possible show up to disrupt their little gathering. Should be a lot of fun. Why let these fascists get away with the stuff they promote?

The Fresno chapter of www.freerepublic.com members is throwing their annual picnic sept. 13th and 14th in Fresno. The Freerepublic network is based in and operates out of Fresno, under the control of owner Jim Robinson. The Freerepublic is the largest, busiest, and most widely read political forum in the world, with around 100,000 members. Membership is comprised largely of right wing GOP and other militant right-wingers.

DO NOT underestimate the power of the Freerepublic. It is a major organizing tool of the GOP party and right-wing thought throughout the US and overseas.

Freerepublic members are anti-gay, anti-immigrant, anti-peace and justice, and anti-environmental. These are the people who organize counter-protests throughout the country to many progressive causes, including anti-war protests of the past two years.

Freepwatch suggests activists register an account at www.FreeRepublic.com and actively disrupt the website. Disruption of the FreeRepublic network will help to stop their GOP fundraising and Republican organizing for the 2004 election. Show no mercy.





Here is an announcment posted by Jim Robinson himself regarding the annual Rally and picnic. More information on this event will be posted soon.

LET'S BE THERE IN NUMBERS!
